As I'm trying to detect an qr code and the qr code values, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\m7073\Repos\Chronos_New\invoice_extraction\qr_code_scan.py", line 128, in <module>
    qrcode.set_qr_values()
  File "C:\Users\m7073\Repos\Chronos_New\invoice_extraction\qr_code_scan.py", line 73, in set_qr_values
    text, points, straight_qrcode = detect.detectAndDecode(img)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xfc in position 157: invalid start byte

Steps to reproduce

import cv2
img = cv2.imread(f"page_1.png")
detect = cv2.QRCodeDetector()
text, points, straight_qrcode = detect.detectAndDecode(img)
